pantone challenge :: turbulence

I was all ready for Day 2 of the Pantone-inspired color challenge, until I realized that "turbulence" is actually shade of grey-blue, not teal (as I had originally perceived). It really boggles my mind sometimes how differently things can appear to us, especially colors. Even if one perceives turbulence as a shade of grey, pinpointing what shade it is presumably varies from person to person. Searching Pinterest for "pantone turbulence" yields images in a wide spectrum of greys. So what is a person to do? Answer: Wear all things grey, and hope for the best. The odds that turbulence appears somewhere in my outfit are in my favor. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Obsessed. This is a great outfit. I love the color of the pants and how you styled it with a fun animal print. It is funny how colors can be perceived so differently; I know other who linked up went a little teal as well. Thanks so much for linking up again!

I wish authors would use these crazy colors when they are describing their characters. I mean, since you quoted the Hunger Games, it just made me think about how everyone from Katniss's neighborhood has gray eyes. I wish she had turbulent eyes instead. And carafe hair.

This is a weird comment. I should probably delete it, but I think we are good enough internet friends to let it stand!

When I looked at your post yesterday, I definitely thought turbulence was a teal. It looks like you included two of the colors, turbulence and vivacious. Double the fun! :) I really like the cut of these pants and this sweater is a lovely shade.

I totally thought "turbulence" was a bluish teal/green color when I saw the color names/swatches...and I Googled it too to figure out what the heck to wear! I really love this though. Gray and maroon look great together!!
